Weirdly meta-but-also-object-level question for Conor:
This comment now has 35 karma, and been visible for about a day, and has no particularly dangling threads to resolve. If my “on-topic/off-topic” idea was implemented, this is the sort of comment I think I’d prefer to move to a pseudo-hidden “offtopic” section, to free up visible space for comments currently under discussion.
But, I can imagine that defeating at least some of the value you was getting from it (i.e. feeling sufficiently supported in your endeavors that it feels right to give LW2.0 a second go).
Mostly for building up an intuitive sense of how people would react to the offtopic thing, how would you feel if this comment were moved there if the feature existed?
I don’t know how this ontopic/offtopic thing would interact with threading. What happens to a thread in which some of the comments are terrible and some of them are great?
A sub-comment marked as off-topic gets moved to the offtopic section, where they link back to the original thread, but the original thread doesn’t link to it.
